I have been reading on here about religious ocd, what exactly is that? I too have been troubled with really bad thoughts, and was now diagnosed with OCD. Any input would be much appreciated.

The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I am troubled with bad thoughts as well... It has been so troubleing to me that it brought my once thought unshakeable faith down to almost nothing... but I think that the only way I can overcome this is to get rid of a deep rooted fear which was the fear of committing the unforgivable sin. I have found that the unforgivable sin is only unforgivable if you commit blasphemy against the Holy Spirit (basically not holding the H.S. sacred or telling lies about the H.S.) and doing it with intent, if you do it unknowingly then its forgiven, and if you are worried about commiting the sin, you havent. Also for an odd reason I noticed that the way i thought to myself was sort of a factor, why though i dont know, but i noticed that i would think by mumbling instead of actually thinking and then when i started to take control of my mind it seemed to cease, so i dont know if its the same for you but its just a thought... and maybe i dont have OCD, maybe i just have so much stress that its kinda takeing over my mind, but either way they are really similar to me (OCD and stress) in my case. Really i think what you need to do is realize that God forgives, and that he isnt a bad person at all, and also try talking to a pastor.
